On April 17th, 2007, at 7 PM, Fred Rydholm will speak at Kaufman Auditorium on the Yellow Dog Plains and the Huron Mountain Club. A modern-day historical icon to our community and the Upper Peninsula, Fred knows the area, both people and places, better than anyone. Born and raised in Marquette, Fred grew up traveling around the Upper Peninsula with his parents and grandparents visiting all of the places he writes and speaks about today. Also an animated and charming storyteller, Fred Rydholm is the strongest pillar that carries forth our community’s history. Come and join us for this historical slide show and lecture featuring Fred Rydholm with aerial photographs and slides taken by Tom Buchkoe.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the Kaufman Auditorium ticket booth Monday through Friday, from noon to 6 PM or by calling 225-4302 Ext. 110. Please leave your name, phone number, and how many tickets you would like to purchase. All seats reserved.
A Fred Rydholm scholarship fund for Marquette Area Public School students will be started from funds earned from this event.
If anyone knows of Mr. Fred Rydholm speaking again anywhere, would they please pass this information on to me? Having read Fred’s books ‘Superior Heartland’ I would very much like to meet the man. Thank you!
